  • xtrabackup: Error: Please set parameter 'datadir'

    #1
    Hi,

    I am using percona-xtrabackup-2.0.2's innobackupex to do a full backup of my existing mysql database.

    Its giving me the error " xtrabackup: Error: Please set parameter 'datadir' ".

    Why do we need to mention datadir? Does not it pickit up from my.cnf?

    Please help its very urgent

    I am getting the above error when i am running from the script. But when i am running innobackupex manually i am receiving the error

    innobackupex: Error: Failed to create backup directory /mysql_bkup: File exists at /u01/home/xtrabackup/product/percona-xtrabackup-2.0.2/bin/in nobackupex line 374.

    I am using the below command to execute a full backup manually

    innobackupex --port= --socket=/tmp/mysql_.sock --no-timestamp /mysql_bkup

    Please suggest

        Did you create the directory "/mysql_bkup" on the filesystem before running the script? Is it empty?
